Enjoying Myself

No, that is not hedonistic.

Let me make myself clear. Form 4 was horrible. I played really hard, and in the end all those jokes and self deprecating comments left me cringing when i think back on it. My school work suffered and all those people out there in tuition or in social functions that say homework is a waste of time, shut the hell up.

Form 4 was a time of adjustment, a time of change and a crazy rollercoaster ride at that. Stupid teachers, stupid world, getting thrown and throwing was uber relaxing for me, which in itself is warped and does not make any sense.

Form 5 is better.

There are, however, a few scars to rub out. For one, i'm notorious as a lazy bugger who has the brains to do anything he wishes, but doesn't complete homework. My Physics tuition teacher picks on me as the 'stupidest' guy in class; my Bio teacher marks me as the one that never finishes his homework, and my Add Maths teacher was shocked to find that i had actually completed a 17 question exercise, for probably the first time in her class.

No way, you say. Me? The holy-on-the-outside judoka/geek/debater/boy? Uhhuh. What can i say? I once was the guy who went to the principal's office on a weekly basis in primary school. What's so hard to believe?

Form 5 is now something of a breather. I never realised UGS could end up strenghtening ties amongst people. I found out how much of a gaming guru Ling is. I met two very opinionated, intelligent and sharp girls - Wen Qi and Sam. I almost liked Tay as a person again. And Kenny? I can tell he almost can't believe this happened too.

But i better not talk too long. The distant siren call of the forum is haunting me, and since most of us would be busy with the SPM, here's to hoping that it wouldn't die out. Fizzle.

Cheers.

After a Long Time

I took a look at my own blog, and realized that after i changed the theme i hadn't been updating much. Even with Wandkey and Sam breathing down my back in the UndergroundSquare forums, I just couldn't find the time to update, and to give my blog a nice, shiny overhaul that would require me to edit images (BAH-boring!).

Okay, okay, i didn't find the time to do it. Not couldn't. Didn't. Does that make sense?

Anyway, its the Chinese New Year, and i'm doing it differently by not opening any of the angpows that come my way. I've visited a couple of houses (okay, understatement, but still a couple if you compare me with some of my friends ...) and the pile keeps growing and growing in my drawer. My sisters, however, rip the angpows apart once they get in the car.

Probably the most memorable house (for many, many reasons) would be Sam's. It was the 2nd UGS gathering, so of course, posterity wise it would definitely go down in memory. There was the PS2, lots of friends, pillow fights and bouncing.

Wow, backtrack there.

Pillow fights!?

Yep. I threw one at Sam, she threw it back. Then, i don't recall how, (or even if i actually started it) but Kenny started innocently lobbing pillows at me, Sam began a full blown fight with Tay, and Cheryl (i think i got that name rite - Sam's little sis) put neckrests on Lings head, making him look like some freaky, overgrown, headed-for-Australia baby.

Day 3

The gathering aside, (i won't bother to blog about the first one, since Wandkey, Sam and Kenny (who was in uber melancholy mode) already did) there was that visit to Kok Wee's house. It was crowded! A lot of old classmates from Chung Hwa No 1 were there, as were a few Kch High people i knew in passing. A whole damn lot of girls that refused to eat (diet, ke?) and i thought i spotted Kenny's ex-gf in another room with her friends, but was too engrossed in the Fort Minor Kok Wee had in his com to care.

After that, i went to Garrick's house, where we spent a couple of hours quietly playing various games, and me turning up the volume on my newly loaded Believe Me (Mike Shinoda, Fort Minor, courtesy of Kok Wee =D). And then, after being terrorized (read:flirted) by a girl that i had no interest in (ugh!), i went back.

Day 4
Today all i did was to visit in the morning, and then come back home to do homework. I probably don't have to tell you this, but i'm including day 4 because today is the day i upgrade Wordpress for the Thomian Online site. Historic? Hmmph. Probably just headache causing.

Eli out.
